Job Description

Are you passionate about building innovative digital products at the intersection of music and technology?

Heartist — the platform redefining how fans support their favorite artists — is looking for a technical co-founder or future CTO to join us on a unique journey.

You’ll work closely with our senior external consultant, who is currently developing the first version of the platform, and you’ll play an active role in shaping the long-term technical vision and product roadmap.

What we offer:
  • A work-for-equity agreement, with equity offered based on your experience, contribution, and level of involvement
  • A clear path to become our official CTO, with a paid role as the company grows
  • Direct involvement in the creation and evolution of the platform, alongside the founding team
  • A key role in a fast-growing international startup, based in the Netherlands and operating across Europe
  • Exposure to industry professionals: artists, managers, labels, distributors, and agencies
  • Opportunities to attend music tech events, investor demo days, and startup competitions
  • Full ownership of the technical architecture and product evolution
  • A remote-friendly, creative, and entrepreneurial work environment
  • The chance to grow your portfolio, network, and visibility in the tech and music innovation space


Required technical skills:
  • Solid knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript
  • Experience or familiarity with WordPress (themes, plugins, basic customization)
  • Basic understanding of PHP
  • Working knowledge of relational databases (e.g., MySQL)

Preferred technical skills:
  • Experience with custom WordPress plugins or themes
  • Understanding of full-stack development (client/server, REST APIs)
  • Familiarity with mobile development (Flutter, React Native, or native Android/iOS)
  • Experience using prototyping tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch)


Required soft skills:
  • Strong sense of ownership and initiative
  • Ability to communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders
  • Curiosity and adaptability with new technologies
  • Good command of technical English
  • Strong organizational and documentation habits

Preferred soft skills:
  • Experience with project or time management
  • Understanding of startup or product development processes

This is your chance to help build something from the ground up — and to leave a lasting mark on the future of fan-powered music experiences.
